What goes around

About 2 years ago my father passed away. He was not a JW, but his wife was. My father met her years ago after she befriended my biological mother through The Truth. My mother, trusting in a baptized JW, did not see she was taking my father from her. My father NOT being a JW, had an affair and left with her. My mom and I for many years growing up resented the JW as an organization for having someone like this woman (we’ll call her Julie) representing them and preaching things she does not even believe in. She literally should’ve been exiled after what she did and instead, the elders turned a blind eye. This was even more evident when she married my dad who was NEVER a JW! Isn’t this like frowned upon?

Anyway, years passed and this lady just grew into this insidious, jealous and kind of crazy Karen—like lady. She very much did not like me and made that very clear especially when my father wasn’t around. But I had too much respect for my father to bring it to him, as I saw it was very petty stuff to even bother him with. I also knew, she was so petty with some of the things she said and did, that I was just above that, which was crazy because she and her daughter would always try make to make feel inferior for not being baptized in the church. Meanwhile she was fucking like 4 guys at once at one point in college and still going to church and preaching, I mean the audacity ??!?!

Years pass and sudden my father passes about 2 years ago and her world comes crashing down. After my fathers funeral, she goes to the Apple Store to have my fathers iCloud opened. This reveals mountains of evidence of infidelity on my fathers part. Messages, videos, pictures, etc. My stepmom LOSES it and begins confronting everyone if they knew about my fathers affairs. Confronts all these ladies, threatens 2 of them, even went to jail two times. One of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, another for defamation as she was sending out pornographic content of woman my dad has relations with. It was honestly insane thinking my mom was cheated on by 1 woman…. From the congregation nonetheless. But this lady was cheated on by MULTIPLE WOMEN, A FEW EVEN BEING FRIENDS OF HERS AND 2 OF THEM BEING IN THE SAME CONGREGATION. WE EVEN FOUND OUT MY DAD HAD A KID HE WAS HIDING. It’s been a wild ride.

She did everything in her power to try and make me pay for my fathers sins. She tried to take away my inheritance my father literally left me. She had her daughter and husband (who are also JW) squat in the property my father left me incase he passed. They didn’t pay any rent and it actually took me a year to evict them. I mean, how is this not scumbag behavior ? How is this acceptable in church? How is this being what you preach to be decent human being? Absolutely no one has faced any type of consequence. Not my mother for trying to smear my fathers name, for sending my dads porn to various people, even some church people. Her daughter and her husband squatting and breaking some windows in the apartment so I really “feel it”? Feel what? Feel my dad’s death? Not sure what they were trying to achieve here but create more problems for me for no reason. My stepmom was so far gone after what she had found on my dad’s phone that she didn’t even realize what she was doing. It’s worst part is, I talked to the elders of the congregation to let them know what their long time members are doing to me after my dads death. The ones that have known my father and me for years, they did not give a FUCK LMAO. The elder’s in the Wyckoff Brooklyn congregation play politics, and if you’ve known them long enough, you can get away with anything. I’ve met good people there, but I’ve met equally worse people as well. They just came to light when my dad passed.

It’s crazy how karma has really came and fucked her up, and at such an old age almost like 60. Poor lady will probably have to work for the rest of her life just to pay the last vacation she was on since she only lived off my father and his business (which she lost). She never actually learned to do anything but spend my father’s success. Thank god I went to college and learned from my father and opened my own business. She’s been going through the worst downwards spiral for almost 2 years now. Since I was the only self sufficient one, I’ve happily moved on as I await the birth of my own first son in the coming weeks.

Sometimes, I wonder if my dad died for a reason. God took him at a time so crucial in my life as I’m now grown up and having my own son and seeing all these things play out and punish them. Sometimes, I wonder, if he had not passed maybe I wouldn’t have seen them for who they really are. The real karma is what she will have to live with now… the worst part is, she can’t even confront my dad about it lmfao. She just has to eat it on this earth the way my mother and I had to while she was living a princess life for so many years. Like everything in life, you pay for everything while you’re still here on earth. What goes around comes around.
